route the plot was reportedly targeting a passenger train route belonging to via rail canada that actually runs between it toronto and new york city two men have been arrested in what police are calling a home grown terror plot according to authorities the suspects who are she have a saying tire and right you just are have been under investigation for more than a year now police do not believe the plot is connected to the boston marathon attack last monday we'll keep you updated as the t. tails of this story continue to develop now on to boston where the manhunt for suspects responsible for the bombing of the city's annual marathon ended but the investigation has really just started the city of boston stopped for a moment of silence at two fifty exactly this afternoon that is one week after the bombing actually occurred the body of twenty nine year old krystal krystle campbell was laid to rest today as well hundreds and tend to her service including governor deval patrick now nineteen year old dzhokhar sars naive is in serious but stable

condition at the beth israel medical center he has a breathing tube down his throat right now and is suffering from a bullet wound to the neck among other injuries officials close to the investigation say that he is communicating with the police through hand written notes joe hire is officially charged today and he was charged from his bedside hospital among the charges is the use of a weapon of mass destruction with the intent to harm the white house also released a statement just a short time ago saying stars and i will be tried in a civilian court but not all are happy with this decision are to correspondent ana stasia churkin a is in boston with the latest and hey there on the stasi as so today dzhokhar stars and i have it was charged with a number of crimes what's the latest that you are getting from these charges. that's right megan today the official charges were finally filed the official complaint against your hearts are not accuses him of the use of weapons of mass

destruction as well as the malicious destruction of property resulting in death so what he's looking now at the nineteen year old suspect the only live suspect in the boston bombings case is a death penalty even though the death penalty is certainly not legal in the state of massachusetts we are looking at a federal crime crime so this is what he is faced with as you just said he is in fact functioning he did start he did away in a weekend on sunday evening where he started replying to officials questions to him simple questions and writing sporadically he was able to give them simple answers we do know that today he is functioning we certainly know that he understood the charges being brought against him for now we do also know that the probable cause hearing has been set for may thirtieth and this is really the latest surrounding him right now we're not sure exactly whether or not he was his miranda rights were read to him that was been causing lots of debate earlier but certainly the charges have been brought to the case goes from here and as i had mentioned earlier on

a stock to a lot of people are not happy with the fact that the white house said that he will be charged in civilian court senator lindsey graham and others talked about treating dzhokhar stars at night as an enemy combatant in order to gain information from him. when the public safety exception is stars and well here's this man in my view should be designated as a potential enemy combatant. but then he went on to say that he wants a federal trial in the u.s. court with him tried as a u.s. citizen and senator graham says that dzhokhar is not eligible for military commission trials so how do these two trials kind of differ can you give us some insight. well megan certainly if there's been much debate surrounding the way the hearts of should be tried certainly a lot of mostly republican lawmakers were advocating for him to be tried as an enemy competence but the argument against that for among other politicians and civil rights groups was that this is a u.s.

citizen somebody who became a naturalized u.s. citizen back in last year actually on september eleventh he has been living in the united states since two thousand and two and people were saying we cannot try an american citizen who committed an act on u.s. soil as an enemy competent because if this is the case this time around what happens in similar cases are we now going to start trying americans as enemy combatants so certainly that has been put off the table right now as we know the white house has said that this is not going to be considered and the difference there is really the way the way the case would be handled certainly a lot of legal experts have been saying that if he were in fact to be treated as an enemy combatant it would not in fact provide any any better insight for investigators but rather prolong this case so many are seeing the fact that he's going to be tried in a federal criminal case as making it really simpler and just following the rules under which american citizen should be tried in clearing in a tragedy like this one and on a stasia one interesting point to note is that the state of massachusetts does not

exercise the death penalty could he be sentenced to death i mean during the bush administration federal prosecutor sought the death penalty in states that didn't have it and then we have really yet to see that the obama administration so could this be the case this time. well let me guess what's going to be certainly your right to state of massachusetts does not have the death penalty we do currently have thirty two states in the united states that recognize it but in federal criminal cases the the death penalty is in fact recognized and because this is treated as a federal criminal offense this is certainly what's going to be joe hart's or knives possible future now that this investigation unravels correspondent honest osteosarcoma has been and boston since the initial bombings actually happened and she will continue to bring us updates. so let's pause for a moment and take a look back at how the boston marathon bombing manhunt ended and the latest events to unravel over the weekend artie's own honest has

a look back. mayhem took place here at an area still for an office at a sporting event that attracted tens of thousands of participants and thousands of spectators from all over the world two bombs went off just seconds apart from each other at the finishing line of the boston marathon the explosions were so strong that they sent degree flying on to rooftops ripping off people's limbs leaving three people dead and over a hundred and seventy five people injured despite all of the money the united states spends on security it was a surveillance camera of a department store that helps pinpoint the two brothers behind the tragedy several memorials like this one have been set up throughout the city of boston to remember the victims of the three people who died include an eight year old boy and two young women a twenty nine and twenty three year old over a dozen victims remained in critical condition for several days many of them needing follow up surgery despite having had amputations the two suspects lived in an apartment on the third floor of this building in cam bridge now they came to the

united states the two brothers of chechen origin back in two thousand and two the younger brother joe hart became a naturalized citizen on some eleventh last year the older brother had a green card dreamt of joining the united states olympic boxing team to get a passport all of the people who knew them were shocked to find out that there is a suspect in the bombings but there have been red flags surrounding the identity of the older brother for years while some are praising law enforcement for eventually catching the two suspects others are saying the f.b.i. had dropped the ball after all back in two thousand and eleven upon a request of the foreign of a foreign government announced this week to have been russia's government the f.b.i. did look into the identity of to maryland who was back then twenty four years old they intercepted his phone calls followed his social networking life his social relationships but decided he was not suspicious and let him free and some are now saying that possibly the tragedy of the boston bombings could have been avoided if

he was at least. put on a watch list since then after monday's bombings late on thursday afternoon the f.b.i. finally released photos of the two suspects the ended up coming out of their hiding killing an mit officer hijacking a car releasing the person to whom that car belonged and got in a car chase with police the police officers said that the two brothers were throwing explosive devices out of their car and shooting over a dozen police officers were wounded as a result eventually the older brother twenty six year old to milan got out of the car to continue the shootout with the police officers and the younger brother stayed in the car ended up running over his older brother getting away in the car which he eventually abandoned and was able to get away on foot in the meantime police officers captured to marilyn and took him to this hospital in boston suffering multiple injuries this is where he died shortly after one thirty am on friday morning and then president

a manhunt for joe hart continued for over twenty hours involving thousands and thousands of federal and local law enforcement officers were currently in watertown just several minutes outside of boston now law enforcement officials had established a perimeter in this area going from door to door trying to locate just hard whereabouts where they ended up finding him was just a block away from the area they were searching he was hiding out in that one of the houses in this area in a dry docked boat a local neighbor person living in this area saw a blood trail and led police to the area where john harwood hiding now a helicopter of the officials was also able using heat signature technology to locate your heart hiding out in the boat even though he was covering himself up now it's important to note that a two hour standoff and shootout between police and your heart continued eventually

we know that there were. negotiating attempts because the officials were very interested in getting him alive eventually they were able to arrest him take him into custody following his arrest her heart was taken to the same hospital where his brother died also having suffered severe injuries he has been undergoing medical treatment under heavy guard joe hart was said to have suffered injuries to his throat either as a result of a suicide attempt or the shootout with police and has been unable to speak he did however awaken on sunday night and was able to sporadically answer the f.b.i.'s questions in writing after we filled with tragedy shock fear and a mass lockdown in the city of boston has breathed out a sigh of relief that locals want to see justice and find out the motives behind the terror rocks that made so many question the illusion of safety they have been living under just as you are to the troops it's well it was only when the f.b.i. released numerous photographs and videos of the boston marathon bombing suspects

last thursday that any real progress was made in the investigation despite the fact that the city of boston claims to have over one hundred forty seven surveillance cameras throughout the city and although records indicate that the city spent nearly five hundred thousand dollars to two thousand and seven on these high tech security cameras alone the best footage of the suspects actually came from privately owned cameras in front of the local restaurant so does the city of boston have too few security cameras too many or just enough for more on this joining me now in our d.c. studio is just one right back director of the national security and human rights council at the government accountability project and president of c.m.t. group investigations thomas ruskin in new york thank you two for joining me both of you thomas i like to start with you so the f.b.i. is telling the use of these surveillance cameras to help discover and after i hand the alleged boston marathon bombers so is this surveillance

a success or is the fact that the bombing happened at all black mark for the so-called surveillance state. well surveillance cameras basically brought this case to a conclusion and brought the people who committed the crime to justice so how could that be a failure furthermore over the years like in july the seventh of we know that the cameras in london what they call the ring of steel brought to justice and brought to brought the people who were responsible for the bombing in london so you know cameras in our society or now and this is evil and we're going to probably be expanded and probably homeland security dollars as well as municipal dollars will go to building up in this a pal of these cameras and c.c.t.v. systems at this point in time and just like he did make a point the urban area security initiative which was grant which was a grant funding from the federal department of homeland security founded

a lot of the cameras that boston has a do you think that this is one of the necessary evils as tom said well it's definitely evil i think this whole thing was a spectacular failure of the surveillance state because despite all the cameras we just talked about they failed to deter or detect this plot and while i agree with the other guest that cameras are good for reconstruction even there we had to crowd source this manhunt and rely on footage from a lot of private cameras and photographs now tom piggybacking off of what justin just said are surveillance cameras supposed to actually prevent crimes through deterrence because people know they are being launched or or is it supposed to more act as a retro act of discovery is that how they've been used in the present by by politicians is that they how they have actually been presented to us is as one or the other or both. the is you question is paul in new york city alone we have the

downtown initiative which is formulated by the new york city police department what it is is a merger of public and private cameras what the police department has done is got private corporations to link their camera systems outside of sensitive locations as well as normal buildings in midtown manhattan and believe it to a location lower manhattan where the police department and private corporations monitor on twenty four hour basis the purpose of that is no way to detect crime should a person come in next especially outside of a building let's say like the empire state building and leave a package so that they can respond necessary police officers as well as bomb squads but it's also to detect or solve the crime should it happen without the prior detection so it works in both ways now just when we how can we put the balance the need for privacy but also the need for safety because in retrospect these cameras

were instrumental and finding these people so how can we balance our safety with with what we want as visual to not be recognized for some time on the street well the camera has helped find people but again it was tape cameras from a lot of private footage from private cameras and surveillance i think the way you can help do that is by having smart surveillance i mean we have spent seven hundred billion on surveillance since nine eleven and i would submit that the place that really needed to be surveilled was a fertilizer plant which had not been inspected for more than five years and instead we have massive so i mean we have one of the most surveys is here a big event in history with the marathon in terms of cameras then it didn't detect that person placing the bag and accident reconstruction is fine but people are dead by then tommy response. it's the most ridiculous this is i've heard in

a long time but along those lines you know it's city and metropolitan areas that are most to ensure that's where our search that's where our past history has shown us and to build up the surveillance system anyone who thinks that they walk through the world nowadays and isn't under some kind of surveillance either by a smartphone or by the c.c.t.v. is really living in a different era that we're living in now and i think that if we're smart we will build up the public as well as private cameras and be able man of them to prevent as well as solve crimes that happen i don't know which hypothesis you found in correct and mean i think it's completely true as you conceded that all the surveillance failed to detect or deter in this case and what we don't need is more surveillance we already have one hundred forty seven government cameras and

numerous private camera as you know and again we have massive data collection we have fusion centers and none of these has ever failed to prevent attack and moreover you mentioned london and england had a survey that found a massive survey of surveillance that found that surveillance never never prevented an actual crime both interesting up points unfortunately we're going to have to wrap the discussion up there just on radar director of the national security at the human rights at the government accountability project and new york in new york are thomas ruskin former n.y.p.d. detective and president of c.m.p.d. group investigations. now federal investigators are still trying to figure out what caused a massive explosion at a fertilizer plant in the small town of west texas on the evening of april seventeenth reports show that the west fertilizer company may have violated some regulations and there is a record of complaints about this exact plant meanwhile dozens of families are

still unable to return to their homes as authorities say that the area closest to the blast is still too dangerous the tiny town is in the heart of texas and it is preparing to later arrest a lot of their loved ones are correspondent among going to brings us their story. blaring texas state troopers lead a procession for fall and those firefighters kitty here is remembered as the euro the mention of his name makes his friends and saw theirs was off duty when he read to help put out the fire at the west fertilizer company. well you know most of the fourteen casualties were first responders among the civilians killed in this fifty seven year old body and also the body of the married father of four lives near the fertilizer plant it was a relief to know that they had found the makers. i would be afraid. to let.

you know. hurt. this. you know how can. josephine miller member said to be about as someone who was always willing to help anyone he used to be for me here through my garden he was my best friend he was like my own son to me as i'm going to think of my to know that. he had planned all those hours for me and for i'm going to miss him a lot i know that. but like i said at least i know he's resting. while the tight knit community mourns survivors of the explosion struggle to recover days after the disaster some of the back way sions zones had been reopened the acts on this home marks a house which was searched during the initial evacuation still some of the people who live close to the blast will not be able to return to their homes and see what happened for quite a long time meantime state authorities say that the site itself is no longer

a risk to public safety however a.t.f. agents who i spoke to earlier this week said they expect to be investigating here for quite a long time there was a house structure next door that was fully engulfed it was right next to my house waco texas firefighter john b. and what i knows his house has suffered major damage but hasn't been allowed to get close they have not said they said it could be a couple of more days it could be another week stick together that's all we can do that's all we can do is stick together. leave. the leave for many in west texas it's their faith helping them heal let us ask god to help us in this time of trial moving forward the residents of this tiny town of less than three thousand people to show the world their resilience in rebuilding from a horrific disaster. leave the

euro. in west texas from a valley in the r t. now for the latest from west texas our to correspondent ramon galindo joins me now with more hands our imo now from your report that we just saw this past weekend seems like a very emotional one for the survivors of that blast can you give us more in science to what it's like on the ground right while driving into the tiny town of west texas you'll see that a lot of the streets are still closed barricades have been set out. surrounding a very wide grimmett or around the west fertilizer company the streets have been closed up to a mile away from the plant itself so we still see a lot of state troopers people from getting too close from the blast site beyond that i mean damage read miles away from the blast so a lot of boarded up windows around the town and we see the first responders from

around the state of texas do on the ground there trying to keep order in this small town which has suffered such a great loss and of course you saw during that piece wide emotional in a town where almost everybody knows each other a moment of great sadness and people still haven't laid their loved ones to rest and ramona when this first happened when we first started hearing reports about this explosion there were a lot of concerns about the end draw and miss and drawn a mess alone you know that was actually possibly released into the air when the fertilizer plant exploded and how it could be affecting the air quality have you seen anyone taking precautions to prevent potential complications such as masks or anything like that. when we first got here on wednesday after the blast the first responders were wearing masks and children and the elderly were advised to evacuating out those evacuations orders have been lifted and state officials had gone out of the way to tell us that there is no more safety risk when it comes to

the air quality monitors have been set up by regulators and i called the texas commission of environmental quality today however they were not very cooperative been given me an update as far as what those monitors have found so however the people living in and around the area they're used to the fertilizer plant they say that they haven't felt any odors as of yet and it doesn't seem like they are as concerned about the air quality as they were in the days immediately following the blast and what we do know is that us history dictates that this is not the first time this actually happened in texas or ammonium nitrate and was actually exploded and actually happened back in april nine hundred forty seven in texas city when a phone exploded now well known let me ask you is there any information more about what the investigation is leading to is still being treated as a criminal investigation. right well this weekend we're able to speak to the deputy state fire marshal who says he is now in the lead of the investigation he said that

so far there is no indication that anything criminal has happened however he also did say that he doesn't even know where the fire itself started the only new information that we were able to gather from state fire investigators is that they had been removing some of the tanks from the site which contained and hydrants ammonia. but as of right now there doesn't seem to be any sort of signs of criminal intent however we have to remember that earlier this year a school near by the plant had to be a bag with it because a pallet fire was being conducted there at the plant the superintendent of the school said that they had not been aware of that fire or they hadn't been given at advanced notice now and there's no indication that there was a palace fire going on before the explosion last week however it does seem to be a concern for some people that those fires were happening there at the plant our take our fire among the lender with the latest updates from west texas. and now to

the latest on the surrounding the cyber intelligence sharing and protection act better known as cispa for those of you who have been following this debate closely you've probably heard rumors of websites going black today in protest of the legislation the blackout was called for by the hacktivist group anonymous and the organizers hope that it would be as big as the sopa and pipa protest blackout of last year that's when hundreds of companies from google to wikipedia want their websites temporarily to demonstrate to users what life on the internet would be like if those bills passed those bills did not in fact passed arguably due to the massive opposition to them but today's blackout hasn't been as successful overall over three hundred websites promised to participate in the virtual protest but for most internet users it was just another day of surfing the web why well the fact is that many big name tech companies like microsoft i.b.m.

cast for a rise in an intel all support the system will now why is that they side with the bill because they say that cisco removes the burden of monitoring users' activity from the company meaning these companies can hand over user information to the government that is considered potentially threatening without the risk of being sued for breaking its terms of service critics say cisco would allow the government to extract private investor information from the internet without a warrant and actually create a massive database on american citizens the bill passed a house vote last thursday two hundred eighty eight to one hundred twenty seven it's now on its way to the senate and that's going to do it for me see right back here at five pm. he is easy to.

see the. elite. see. it's. the sound cock.

name. the new international and world in the very heart of moscow carried by stamped. regarding what the republic of texas was in eight hundred thirty six a number of people who had moved here from north america. at the invitation of the mexican government to settle here they were being chased out by the new president

of mexico was also a general of the armies there. and they had to defend themselves against santa ana i was armies that lasted for about a year but finally general sam houston leading these volunteers defeated santa ana a place called santa sento and in defeating the president and general of mexico they were able to force him to sign a treaty. the treaty formed a new nation so that he would never again come across the rio grande river to bother of the people in texas any more tree also said. that the land of texas. belonged to the people who lived on the land of texas for ever and that's a treaty that is perpetual it doesn't go away. so what is the republic of texas.

it is the land of texas one of texas does not belong to the u.s. doesn't belong to the federal government the last of the people. who live here. and there is no federal land if they want land in texas they have to lease from a spring there are military bases school. ok go ahead. fall off the hip all the fifth of what the republic of texas is today in the early two thousand was. a number of people got together and said you know what the farm land is still ours and if there's

a perpetual treaty that says we are a nation let's just be a nation and so they elected but with a vote from the people. a president vice president secretary of state a congress a supreme court justice and all of those are still occupied lands to this day in fact that meets every month on the second saturday of the mosque and the people of texas who are interested come to those meetings that's what it is today the purpose the goal of the republic of texas and what we're doing is to restore and to preserve all the freedoms and all the rights that were won in eight hundred thirty six at the battle of santa sent over when that treaty was signed. in other words we're here to make sure that the people get to exercise those rights even though an overreaching fair. government of the us keeps trying to

take away more and more of the rights and freedoms we're here to restore them and to make sure of their prisoner. to have a say. i drove here from lake jackson texas two hundred forty miles. i had to wake up early but i wanted to come i went last month to this meeting. and what i see here some people that are concerned about. where our country is heading and. then they they look for the alternative. but there's a lot of talk about secession in this country because we see tyranny in washington we see even our own elected representatives wind up getting elected because they're people with wealth that are paying for their elections.

you may have one not just all. and only it's for mr. clinton. ok. it's ok. he's not. he's not a hero fred evident by the. c.h.p. sudley if you was a him would you be a hero by the f l. l . the days when the congress. imo the ladies of texas.

didn't give their dumb record. we they we reclaimed in all the way and for the people. it up and this is a map of the original bone grease from eighteen to thirty six of the nation called the republic of texas here's a map of the state of texas today and all of the mountains all the way up to here which is wyoming colorado new mexico kansas and oklahoma. that we're part of the nation then have been stripped away because this is the northern limit of texas which is somewhere and sheer. you can see or. have served these papers to. all the

different governors. to washington d.c. . to europe blame is put. so what did. them leave in him a copy because i didn't serve him. i deserved all the top people. viewed you have any. money real money. with. her hands are. immoral by some real money. or if. it's your wishes that has a face value of two you'll see how scientists are. finding nine point nine percent personal. airtight story tarnish. it was are you sure we're

problem trouble free right ok. so i did things for you. i helped design these i draw on first a man have an artist. what is it you just. before he takes. me to. break the whole big load them or bartering that's right and i like it i like it i like it through. over here we've got a machine it's running republic of texas currency right now we've got a one. thirty nine millimeter silver medallion. so you can see the star on one side with an outline of the original. other side one nation

under one god. great sculptor. started doing these all way back in two thousand and nine hundred thousand these. these presses are used by the u.s. for almost fifty years to make any. you hear the most repurposed make fractional silver cup america and he says we change the world. we use the money for good so. should the money people were. playing we could make a marketplace. open to anybody who wants to get what you want to make something free. money the way we. play the money the money. and make. their changes in the marketplace

so what we're going to do here is we're free to enter a currency system. build the blanks for the u.s. . we can reestablish this marketplace people barter and trade what. it. says. to me is suggestion so there's my say this. with only one is laying the piss out of all fifty states forty nine other states all of their land records are in state. there are all forty nine states. but up in virginia very close to the district of columbia. united states bureau of. the united states own as can folks and throw all the.

states on. these records state and texas because first. then the senate ratified the treaty with texas for friendship commerce and navigation in eight hundred forty three but refused to ratify a treaty about it safe. a year later and eighteen forty four. december outgoing president john tyler proposed that texas yeah next by a joint resolution of the u.s. congress that past february of forty five. and november texas vote on it safe. and eight hundred sixty one. people discovered the united states wasn't going to do what they said they would do. so they. elected form a new constitution and took them of

a vote to secede or not. the united states declared the vote in the constitution null and void. but through what people didn't understand. the stakes is never ceded its reliance in they were and they were taken a vote to secede and you cannot cede troops up to new never see did. jay james in miami hauteur the. anybody after chickens managed their day it you know you know go after james tickets. when a driver worries that the man. told. him

that i want to leave both of them to do all three of them just buy a. new one. earth perfect ok i'll be happy doing this. kind of governments we have now are like a parasite in a parasite as a living thing but it lives off of the lives of others they are parasites on call's their partner sites on trees government has become a parasite and there are as many people penned up on my government. in the united states as there are that are not the planet. so it's a kind of a fifty fifty deal well we can't support. that other half. by our labor because government doesn't produce anything it only takes once. and gives

it to people who are over. forty pounds. and republic of texas that can't happen. just to show the republic says the government is very small. does very few things is forbidden to do the other things so people keep the fruits of their labor they keep the work of their hands down the down they can. start businesses they can hire more people the other people have jobs everything works fine without the parasol.

a report. about international and world in the very heart of moscow. thanks bro no way things are going the republic of texas would be a whole lot better off with the state of texas. texas has got its own like trickle grid as got all the wall and gas and everything it needs it's got all the end. everything it made. by itself without the rest of the united states which is to say

the rest of the united states cannot. without monitoring. most people around this country or around the whole world are thinking oil wells when they hear about texas well that was true a long time ago. but now two thousand and thirteen there is more energy coming out of the ground from natural gas than there is from liquid petroleum. and there's enough natural gas discovered already. to fuel texas for the next hundred years or longer this plant behind us is one of the plants that's capable of burning gas. now because there is so much gas and oil and coal and wind and solar available in texas meaning we have

a lot more sunny days. texas is a stand alone area as far as energy resources it does not need to import energy from other states or from the federal government it can export energy and so that the resources are here and the costs of energy per b.t.u. or per whatever you measure it is usually almost always lower in texas that is in the rest of the states. which is very good for us but that's because with the independent texas power grid. texas does not have to let the us regulate the costs the price of energy. the people who work at a mill are not employees they're partners and they've agreed that when they get

paid for their work. that they will be paid in silver that is produce. and it makes sense because they're producing real money and they want to be paid in real money. everything is part of their exchanging their labor. hours of their life. for a commodity and the commodity is silver it's like paying people in exile. or bacon. since they're being paid in a commodity according to the us govt and they are us. this is not money this is a commodity. so since they're not being paid. u.s. dollars. and they are. u.s. dollars or what's taxed that's the simplest way to.

no income tax if you're paid in a it's. worth you're paid in. the bread. now that's it just an exchange a commodity for the use of my time and my skills. survival under rough child and he is sitting there overlooking all of his sheep in front of fema camps and the i.r.s. and fellow reserve the builder burks and see if. we are the nanny state now where we are being watched almost everywhere we go by security cameras and satellites and drones flying over us we've got our military now to to extend democracy out there to the rest of the world and as long as we're sleeping we're just watching t.v. everything's going to be just fine there was a while they lose one of us and they don't really like to lose us but it's all collateral damage. now and.

the people here believe very strongly in peace we're pacifists we are anti war. we believe at the same time though that very strong defense and being able to protect your life your liberty and your property is also very important so as we walk through you may see guns scattered across the building there's a a r fifteen back here in this corner along so our marketing director tray. and so you'll see a lot of people carrying. and doing things that most normal business would normally do. as the second amendment actually on the back of a coin completely spelled out tomorrow. when one of the more popular medallions. i think this poster here really sums up who we are better than anything else in this building ron paul is certainly one of our personal heroes and probably. by far the most legitimate person that's ever served in government. he wrote a book called end the fed and it's a great book but we took a little bit of

a different approach and said why don't we just stop the revolution and start the evolution and ignore the fed. trying to compete against them instead of trying to put them out of business or wave a sign to get them to change what they're doing let's just ignore them pretend as if they don't exist and will watch the effect that they have over our lives and our finances disappear almost to nothing. so we like to ignore the federal here. you know people often ask what would it take. for us to. have the authority to govern. the land area and the people of texas and there are several possibilities or probabilities that would bring out about one is. a complete economic collapse when the monetary system of the united states stops working and

it's inevitable that it will and then you have an arc and then you have chaos then you have disorder. and the thing that's needed is to have a government in place that works on a volunteer basis instead of having to be paid huge salaries as the people in austin texas are busy on it. and that's why you see what they're hanging in there is good all day here. the news articles are starting to reveal what we've known for a long time here and that is that there are more jobs in texas than just about any place else. and in fact governor perry has said texas is open for business which is another of saying we have jobs here and we do and the question is why does texas have plenty of jobs when there are whole states that just can't create jobs and have so many people and more people going on in

a climate than ever. and there are several reasons for that one is a lot more texas people. are personally entrepreneurs' they think in terms of how can i organize people together to provide a product or provide a service which. people want the worst not to get them to want something but if they already want something how can i provide it to them. to show the biggest part of it is there's just a whole lot less government interference over regulation. you have to get a permit you have to wait six months or a year before you do something while they go and think about whether it's good for the people or not if it isn't good for the people the people won't buy the darn fam .

the united states flag and the texas play was the same guy with the only state and with a republic that can do that the other play a lot below and whatever is on top of that the finial bits on top of a flag sets precedent it's a ball it's a military. eagle it's a president. one of these days i'm a stick up their hamburger on top of that american flag. let's go to the cap you know. if it. is to feet higher than washington d.c. did you. ever think texas is a bigger. always.

we have got or only. got our own money. it was a couple billion higher than or just in d.c. that a bad. texas was fighting. theirs defending itself against the armies of santa ana from mexico. they chose the gold star as their emblem says republic of texas. bad seal was a dog. that in eighteen thirty seven and is still in the capitol building

today right here in the very center of the building. which is just another evidence that the republic of texas has not gone away there's just a different form of government covering it but the land the people and the culture and the spirit of texas are still the same today. as an elected senator in the texas republic. i've had to give thought to whether i even wanted to run for that office. during all of that i decided that it was worth doing for several reasons i have children and grandchildren. i guess pretty soon i'll have great grandchildren. and i want them to grow up and live in a place that's truly free. and that requires a nation that's independent. where the government is limited it's limited in the

amount of money it can spend or borrow or print. or coin or whatever. so i saw a chance for me. to play a part of. having a clearer vision putting it in words putting it on paper and creating they set the foundation on which a free nation could live again a free independent texas. more
